ARA: Need wedding hair and makeup near Glen Sanders

I am in a wedding at Glen Sanders in June, and we are looking for a hair salon in the area to do hair and makeup for around 5 people on the day of the wedding. I was wondering if any other readers have recommendations for hair salons? We’d like to keep it close to Glen Sanders, so the Scotia/Schenectady/Niskayuna area is preferable.

I think Plush Hair Salon, 126 Saratoga Rd, Glenville, NY 12302 would do a fantastic job; but I would book early as this is quite a popular salon. It is within a few miles of Glen Sanders. Our daughter had her bridal party get their hair done with this same group when they went under a different name several years ago. Not sure about make up as it isn’t among the regular services; but I have seen bridal parties having their make up done – one of the stylist’s sisters was doing it – fab faux eyelashes! The phone number is: (518) 280-3167

Hello, bride-to-be! I am an independent stylist out of Gia Bella Hair Salon in Schenectady. I do hair and makeup for weddings and travel on location for the day of the event. Check out some of my work on my website! I hope to hear from you!

Jordan from Gia Bella will be doing my hair for my wedding. In addition to being great at what she does, Jordan has an AWESOME personality. She’s so much fun and really loves what she does. Very reasonably priced, too! And close to your location, reader. I’d check her out if I were you. Good luck!

I used a stylist and make-up artist who free lance and traveled to Saratoga for my wedding a couple of weeks ago.

Stylist: Jill (from Ambiance Salon in Latham)

*Everyone raved about their hair, especially mine. She does amazing work, and is fun, friendly, energetic, and fast! She stayed the whole day up until pictures and did touch ups or re-do’s for anyone that needed it. She Brings everything, you don’t have to supply anything except outlets, table, and chair.
Up do’s for Bride and Bridesmaids were $85, and anyone who just wanted a style was $40. I love this experience it was MUCH more comfortable and way more fun than a salon.

Again, everyone raved about their make-up. She brings EVERYTHING in EVERY color. She has such an eye for what will look good, and knows what what spots to highlight, and what photographs well. Also included lashes that just made your eyes POP. Not too dramatic though, everyone kept saying how great our eyes looked, but no one knew it was lashes until we pointed it out. She also stayed up until pictures providing touch ups. The only thing you will need to provide is a bar stool of some sort. (We called the restaurant of the hotel we were at and they brought one up right away.)
$75 a person, including the lashes (which are reusable, I used them every night on my honeymoon.) And it’s all MAC Make-up.

Both ladies do trial runs, I did two with Jill. This experience was so much fun, and completely relaxing. We threw on some music had some drinks and pranced around in robes all day. :)
